KMG Attachments? and other ?s

I'm looking towards getting some more attachments for my KMG, I have the 6" contact wheel and the Platen attachment.
I've decided to order an extra tool arm and a slack belt attachment, but what else. I'm going to add a piece every so often and I'd appreciate input on What attachments would you consider most necessary when making small to medium folders.
Which attachments do you find most versatile on the KMG?
What speed do you run your single phase KMG at most frequently? Do you use different speeds for specific tasks? Whats the best all around steel grinding speed.

The extra tool arm is a good idea. Get a tool arm for each tool you get. It won't take you long to see how important that is.

I did not get the slack belt attachment because I use the slack belt between my wheels, just never saw the need.

The larger the grit the faster the speed. When I get to 400, I have it crawling.

Tiz, I asked Rob if I needed the slack belt attachment, since the unit comes with the platen attachment. He said no, because all I needed to do was turn the platen attachment around and use the back side as the slack area. I did get an extra tooling arm. Ed Caffery has a great article with some mods to his KMG, it's on the forum.
